Tim,


  Sorry for the delay in reply. I must have accidentally marked the
message as read.


  Thanks for the hands-on info. Smalltalk is probably one of the better
designed libraries (at least that's what I heard), so I guess they don't
have excessively many classes, but even ten times as many classes is
still well within the 255 limit, so I guess my assumption may hold true
for a couple more years (*knocks on wood*).
